PRODUCER
Great Cherry Robusta is a quality-driven collective based in Vietnam, co-founded by Will and Tami Nguyen. With deep roots in the highlands of Cư M’gar, the team is reshaping the image of robusta by applying meticulous farming and post-harvest practices. Their mission: elevate Vietnamese robusta to specialty standards while creating value for local farming communities.
ORIGIN & FARM
Located in Dak Lak, Vietnam’s most iconic coffee-growing region, the farms benefit from mineral-rich volcanic basalt soil and high-altitude temperature swings, ideal for slow cherry maturation and flavour development. The historic Ro Sẻ variety, introduced during colonial times, remains the backbone of their production due to its small, dense, and flavour-rich beans.
PROCESS
This Robusta Sẻ lot undergoes anaerobic natural fermentation, enhancing complexity and depth. Cherries are carefully selected at peak ripeness and slow-dried under controlled conditions to preserve sweetness and structure. Great Cherry’s rigorous quality focus results in a clean, refined cup, a rare expression for robusta.
CUP PROFILE
Smooth and layered cup with creamy texture and elegant balance. Expect notes of hazelnut cream, chocolate-covered raisins, and a soft, boozy cognac aftertaste, finishing with a lingering sweetness that redefines what robusta can be.
